New tool helps build stronger financial cases for water infrastructure investments
Oldcastle Infrastructure has introduced CivilSense ROI Calculator, a digital tool designed to help municipalities and utilities make informed, data-driven decisions for water infrastructure projects.
The CivilSense ROI Calculator supports municipal water management decisions by revealing hidden water losses within the supply network and demonstrating the long-term financial benefits of building sustainable, resilient water systems.
Supporting the CivilSense platform, the ROI Calculator addresses critical challenges in water management by quantifying the likely impacts of aging infrastructure.
It allow users to calculate the significant costs associated with non-revenue water (NRW) losses, project probable leak frequencies and economic consequences of water main breaks based on system characteristics, and model the long-term value of infrastructure investments.
According to the developers, it provides a valuable overview of the financial impact, strengthening the business case for necessary upgrades to aging water infrastructure and new projects.
“Addressing our nation’s aging water infrastructure requires not just innovative products, but also smarter, more transparent planning tools,” said Peter Delgado, business development manager at Oldcastle Infrastructure. “The ROI Calculator is a direct response to this need. By clearly demonstrating the long-term financial benefits of sustainable and resilient water systems, we are empowering our partners to build stronger, more reliable communities for the future.”
